Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about dog boarding in Edinburgh.

How much does dog boarding cost in Edinburgh?▾
Edinburgh home boarding typically costs £28 to £65 per night, and demand spikes every August during the Fringe and the Edinburgh International Festival, so booking early for that period helps with both price and availability. On Petme owners pay 0% commission, so the agreed rate is the full price, with cashback after the stay.
Is home boarding better than a kennel in Edinburgh?▾
Most Edinburgh dogs settle better in a home than a kennel, keeping a normal routine and one-to-one attention instead of a run in a facility. A local boarder can also use the city well, walking your dog up Arthur's Seat, along the Water of Leith, or on Portobello Beach rather than the same kennel yard each day.
How do I find a dog boarder near me in Edinburgh?▾
Search your area or postcode in the Petme app to see verified boarders across Stockbridge, Morningside, Leith, Portobello and out to Musselburgh, ranked by distance. A nearby sitter keeps handover simple and means your dog walks familiar paths rather than being moved across the city.
Does vet protection cover Edinburgh boarding stays?▾
Yes. Every Edinburgh booking includes up to £20,000 of veterinary cover for eligible emergencies during the stay. Your sitter can use a local Edinburgh vet and the protection plan handles eligible costs, so an unexpected emergency does not become a financial worry.
Can I do a meet-and-greet with an Edinburgh sitter before booking?▾
Yes. Every Edinburgh boarder offers a free meet-and-greet at home first, so your dog can see the space, meet any resident pets, and settle before the stay. With many city-centre homes being tenement flats, it is worth checking the setup suits your dog's size and energy.
